Howard,
I second the congratulations. I am so glad it is a T1. You sound like you are doing very well. As far as not getting radiation, personally I would want at least 2 opinions on that. It's great news if you really don't need it, but you want to be as sure as possible that it really is T1 with absolutely no nodal involvement. I may be paranoid, though. Certainly Lisa is a good example that there really are some lucky T1's where surgery alone is a good solution. Take care.
Rainbows & hugs,
Rosie
